Lesson 7                                                                                                     

SFI Co-ops                                                                                                   

Advertising any business requires hard work and patience. There are millions of advertising resources on the Internet that will promise you targeted visitors to your website, and it takes time to sort out the genuine ones, from the scams. Even when you find a good resource, you then go through the hassle of creating and tweaking your ads to get the best results. Money can be easily lost on advertising costs as you improve your marketing experience. Fortunately, there is an easier way, and that is to pay the experts to promote your business for you, in the form of Co-ops.

Marketers who are good at advertising, earn good money by setting up a Co-op, which allows people to buy a share of the advertising costs. The people running the Co-op then pool all the money into advertising campaigns, and then share all the new sign ups between the people who bought the shares from them. As these people know how to advertise, they usually guarantee to bring new team members to your business. For example, they may guarantee 25 new affiliates for $40. For people who don’t know how to advertise, the Co-ops save them time and money by giving them guaranteed results.

In this lesson, I am going to reveal the Co-ops that I personally use to grow my team. These Co-ops have given me some great responsive team members who have earned me a nice income, and I highly recommend using them. It is definitely worth the investment if you want to build your downline fast, and so much better than spending hours on the Traffic Exchanges and Safelists.

S-BUILDER CO-OP

This is SFI’s own Co-op which guarantees to bring you a selection of SFI affiliates and TripleClicks customers for only $22 a share. The advertising campaign starts the next month after you buy your shares, and you will receive notification each time you receive a new member. S-Builder doesn’t guarantee how many new members you will receive, but you will get a good return on your investment, even if you end up waiting more than a month to receive your new sign ups.

PSA To Go

Give your SFI business a boost with 10 PSA's (Personally Sponsored Affiliates). Instantly strengthen your team and increase your potential earning power with a group of 10 newly joined SFI affiliates--assigned to YOU, as their sponsor. As their personal sponsor, each time they place an order at TripleClicks.com, you'll earn 45% of the CV (Commission Volume). That's just the beginning. Teach your new PSA's how to sponsor and duplicate your actions, and your 10 PSA's can eventually become a group of thousands of affiliates in your downline. For each PSA that achieves EA2 status, you can earn lucrative Matching VersaPoints--down to a full 12 generations! 

STARTING YOUR OWN CO-OP

If you are confident in your advertising, you can start your own Co-op with the Co-op Manager tool, in the “Power Tools” menu, located in the Affiliate Center. The general idea is that you add the SFI ID of a downline member to the Co-op list, and select how many shares or sign ups you are going to give them. You then promote the Co-op affiliate URL, which is a rotator that will display the gateway page of each affiliate, one after another, allowing each members ads to run equally.

You may want to set up a page where affiliates can buy shares from you, which you can pour into advertising, or you could offer a team rotator, where every affiliate promotes the Co-op affiliate URL, and everyone gets a share of the profits.
